So what's up you guys, i'm Adrian1099 or you can just call me Adrian
I'm born in Poland but raised in Norway. Right now I live in Uda in Nara Prefecture in JapanI was looking for a car I can play around with for a while now. I checked out everything from E36's to s14's. But when My good friend (not mentioning any names) told me his JZX90 was out for sale I decided to go for it. Very low price for a car in this condition and with an engine like this. My friend kept his wheels so I brought these knock off OZ drift spares I had laying around. My DSLR is in repairs right now so i didn't get any pictures of the drive back home, but the engine feels solid, the suspension is kind of wobbly, might be an issue with the coilovers. I'll check it while changing fluids on it. For now enjoy these shitty IPhone pictures :v It was driven by an elderly man, seems weird as it has alot of power. That's a gangster old man! Engine runs fairly smooth, it loses power from time to time, it's probably just the old spark plugs. Specs: 2JZ-GTE engine HKS crankshaft 550cc injectors refreshed stock turbos HKS intake and exhaust camshaft Greddy kevlar belt HKS intake ARC radiator Blitz oil cooler fmic Apexi computer automatic gearbox.(yeah i know, sucks  )Suspension wise it has Omni Power coilovers and eyeball geometry  Plans? Top Secret area 51 pix:    ＭＯＮＥＹ ＭＡＮＡＧＥＭＥＮＴ！
Current Moneys: 4 260$ Current Income: $1500 per month Stuff i own: Apartment and my small Garage. Started out with 20 000$ Bought JZX90 for 7500$ New brake discs for 250$ New exhaust for 550$ Bride seat for 2000$ Clear blinkers for 350$ Tail lights for 755$ S15 for 2900$ Blitz 03 for 500$ Yashio Factory coilovers for 485$ FD banner - Free  Ganador mirrors 200$ Drift spares 250$ This post was edited by Adrian1099 (2016-03-21 20:32, ago) |

# Robustock : Superclean, looks in good condo for his age Thanks man! Yeah it looks really clean. Im hyped about this one! # David_2709 : Looks really dope, but what spacers did the old man have? It looks like a widebody project xD That's because of the wheels i have on it It looked normal on stock wheels I also have a set of Skyline R32 wheels that i might throw on it later

Definitely will need change of your wheels & its fitment in my opinion. Other than that, nice! I've seen some images of this ride on the net before too.

So a little update on the JZX! Fixed the lights on the rear bumper, and fitted the R32 wheels i got. Right now im on my way for a general inspection at my friend's garage! I'll get the timing done and maybe check out the coilover problem

While the JZX is still getting worked on, i finished a quick project for a customer. I think it turned out really good. (He has a really clean engine setup too!)

Pretty fun with 3 posts and no comments :v
So yeah, it was a very very busy night (and day) in the garage. I want to thank multiple friends that came to help out on the car! We did alot, stuff like: New brake discs (i lent the brembo calipers from one of my friends) New exhaust, sounds awesome! We did some temporary alignment for drifting, still waiting for new coils to come in so i can go lower :3 We did fix the issue where the engine was losing power, first tests were done on the streets (closed course, pro driver and all that) of Uda in the middle of the night ( sorry for waking half of the city up :v) By the time the sun went up the car was basically done for the Touge sesh i have planned later that day, can't wait! I'm waiting for some parts to come in. Basic stuff like coilovers, calipers, bucket seat and white turn signals cause it looks waay to stock with these on. I'm about to head out on the touge right now, sooo... Wish me luck!

# FamousMan : That 4AGE looks so clean! Thanks man, yeah we got to hang out sometime! And the touge part, well... ...I f*cked up Soo this is how the Touge trip nr 1 ended. R.I.P to: - The rear bumper mounts - The middle tail light - Front lip (lost it somewhere in the mountains) + The rear is dented in and the exhaust mount snapped It's all an "easy fix"(not really) so it's okay So what happened? Well, it was really fun for some time, we were out there for about 2 hours before the crash. We hit some really cool 4 car tandems along the sides. And I kind of decided to go a little too hard. I didn't know the road that well so I went in the corner wayy too hot and the rear kicked out too much. The rear dug into the mud and i instantly got the traction back in the rear, the car spun 180 degrees and i landed in a ditch... Well sh*t happens, be carefull out there! The package with all the parts gets delivered tomorrow so it's safe to say that project JZX continues!

Soo the last couple of days have been really busy. I was working on my car in all of my spare time and i just discover new issues with it
I found out that my crash bent basically the front right suspension (fak) you can see it in this photo for example, look at the alignment on the front wheel, so that means i will need an new arm and everything that follows it (fak x2) But let's not think about the bad and focus on the good stuff. I got my new lights, they are some custom ones. I just found them on Yahoo Auctions.  Another good thing, the Bride seat. Really comfortable, love it!  And finally got the clear blinkers!  |

# Mikingo : dem s15 :>Sexiest S chassis ever! I kinda bought it. Well the story is simple, i saw the auction on Yahoo and decided that i HAVE to have it. Quick call to my friend if he can drive me down to this guy's home (he lives in Kishiwada which is on the other side of Nara, that's about 2 hours away), he replied with a hell yeah! Next thing i know im in his little kei car on the Minami-hanna highway blasting Apple tree by Wolfmother and eating some McDonalds! So we arrive at the guy's house and i see the S15 on the driveway, first thing i see is a different exhaust and he didn't state that in the description. It's basically a straight pipe and it's loud AS F**CK, at first i was worried because i had to drive it all the way home, but it's pretty quiet inside so my worries disappeared So i took it for a spin and quickly fell in love with how easily it drove! (Note: i've been driving the JZX90 for the longest time so compared to the S15 the JZX is a freaking boat) The car is in pretty solid shape but the paint needs love so i managed to lower the price a little and ended up paying 320,000 Yen which is approx. 2,900V$ Specs: (Basically stock) -It's a Spec-S with Spec-R bumpers -127,000 real and documented Kilometers -Stock SR20DET -Straight Pipe Here are some pictures Here is when we pulled up to his driveway, only one pic tho :\  Then i drove up to UP Garage where couple of my good friends work, just wanted to show off the new ride  And when i came home me and my girlfriend went out to the Cinema to watch some movies

# skip : Nice car! Over here in Ireland they would sell for (in the same condition) for atleast V$10,000Thanks! Fortunately Spec-S are pretty cheap and common over here so there is no problem in getting parts in a good price. Plans are to make an awesome clean drift car! Ordering Coilovers as we speak!

# skip : Good luck on your build! Haha, thanks man! Soo, some minor changes in the state of the car. As i mentioned before i was on lookout for some good used coilovers for cheap. I posted in alot of FB groups, went to UPGRG but sadly nothing worth the money. I was about to give up and take a freaking loan for a brand new set of coils when the local Up Garage owner said he had something that i will like, used Yashio Factory coilovers for very cheap. At that very moment i knew i had to get them. My friend Yousuke (which is one of the O.G's of drift scene in Nara) and i hopped into his super low streeto machine ER34 and went out to meet the guy. While we were parked i took some shots of the car 
  So after i bought the coilovers we were standing there and talking about cars and drifting, the Owner of UP Garage, Toshiya asked if i could show him some pictures of the car. As soon as he saw the narrow Z32 rims he started laughing hard and asked if i would like some wider rims too Of course i would like some wheels! He whipped out some Blitz Technospeed 03's with half decent tires on and said "Sadly those are only 17's" i wanted to say that this is even better but i realized that i can negotiate on the price because of the size. After some nego. We arrived at Yousuke's garage to get everything fitted. Yousuke found an FD banner that should actually be on Masashi Yokoi's car! But after a design change this one went into Yousuke's drawer. We decided to stick it on there for shits and giggles, i'm going to have a plain white banner anyways so i can just use the measurements from this one \(^ . ^ )/ After all of that we headed out to get some pictures and slide a little bit

Not a huge update, but i went a little lower in the rear and a bit higher in the front so now it's pretty equal, i love the setup right now
 Im looking for a Nardi steering wheel right now, and i just bought some cool white Defi gauges so i'm stoked on that! Gonna get the Bride seat from the JZX and put it in the S15 :3 |

So i was scrolling down my Facebook timeline and i saw an S15 being sold for parts, it was about an hour away from my house so i decided to check it out. That's what i saw when i got there
  I bought the Ganador mirrors and the wheels (As soon as he finds some other wheels to put it on i'm gonna be able to pick them up) Now when i got home i realized that this is the same S15 i saw some time ago at Ebisu   It's really a shame that it ended up like that. |

Nice to hear from you after some time! Those mirrors will look good on your S15. Too bad that Silvia is now for parts, but maybe someone will put it together later, you never know.

# Lagano : Nice to hear from you after some time! Those mirrors will look good on your S15. Too bad that Silvia is now for parts, but maybe someone will put it together later, you never know. I really hope that somebody does put it back together since it's still a clean shell! But i heard that somebody wants the front cut so it probably will be scrapped, shame # FamousMan : That S15 is siiiick man, loving that fitment as well Thanks man! I love it alot as well
